Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co. and ArabGT Showcase the Cultural Icon's Special Edition
Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co., the exclusive agent of Nissan in Qatar, has introduced Nissan Patrol Super Safari Al Ostoura edition in Qatar. To mark the rollout, Saleh Al Hamad AL Mana Co. collaborated with ARAB GT to experience the 4X4 in Qatar and what it means for the local enthusiasts.
Known as the ‘Hero of All Terrains,’ the Nissan Patrol is a cut above the rest – combining power and rugged capabilities with opulent luxury to offer an unparalleled driving experience. The Patrols’ 73-year legacy is a testament to the powerful connections it has formed with drivers over the decades, enriching the lives of families and communities worldwide. Celebrating its 73rd anniversary this year, we honor the diverse and unique experiences of Patrol owners, the true legends who have brought its enduring legacy to life.
Titled 'Al Ostoura', which translates to 'The Legend' in Arabic, this GCC-exclusive model pays homage to the Patrol Super Safari's rich heritage and celebrates its deep-rooted connection to the region. The Al Ostoura Edition marks the culmination of the fifth-generation Patrol's legacy, featuring various design enhancements inspired by the desert landscape. Special badges on the rear pillar and engine, engraved with 'Al Ostoura since 1951' in Arabic calligraphy, highlight its distinction. Powered by a 4.8-liter in-line six-cylinder engine delivering 280 horsepower and 451 Nm of torque, it offers exceptional off-road performance and impressive highway speed. The vehicle's design includes motifs inspired by Arabian desert dunes, 17-inch alloy wheels, and distinctive body stickers. Safety features include electronically controlled power steering, cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, ABS, dual-front SRS airbags, and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) for a safer driving experience.
Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana’s collaboration with Arab GT is part of a broader partnership between Nissan Middle East and Arab GT to showcase the new Nissan Patrol Super Safari, known as the Al Ostoura Edition, in different markets in the GCC. This initiative highlights the enduring appeal and robust capabilities of the Patrol Super Safari Al Ostoura Edition, a model known for its legendary status, in its various interpretations across the GCC. By partnering with Arab GT, Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co. and Nissan Middle East aim to enhance their connection with automotive enthusiasts across the region. The Qatar showcase, the first part in the Nissan Patrol Super Safari Al Ostoura Edition series, commenced at the state-of-the-art Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana showroom in The Pearl Qatar. The journey in the legendary Nissan Patrol Super Safari Al Ostoura Edition takes the Arab GT Team to meet guest Tariq Al Mousa, a renowned Nissan enthusiast in the Arab region, who shared his passion for cars and, specifically, Nissan cars. He owns over 60 rare and distinctive cars, with half of his collection being Nissan, including models like the GTR, Nissan Patrol, and Nissan Z. Recently, he added two versions of the legendary Nissan Patrol Super Safari to his collection. Tariq's love for Nissan extends to his children, who have inherited his passion. The Arab GT team, along with Tariq Al Mousa, toured Corniche Street in Doha, visited the heritage market of Waqif, and explored the old harbor. After this unique tour, they enjoyed a traditional Qatari lunch. Tariq then surprised the Arab GT team with a gathering of the ‘Nissan Group Qatar’ at Katara in Doha. This group is led by an avid Nissan collector, Mubarak Al Shamlan. The group aims to bring together and connect Nissan enthusiasts who collectively own over 600 Nissan cars, including Patrol Super Safari cars, in pristine condition.
